I use a machete to preach and fight evil spirits — Kenyan pastor

A Kenyan pastor, Archbishop Emmanuel, known for wielding a machete during church services, has explained that he uses it as a symbolic weapon to fight evil spirits.

In an interview with Afrimax, he shared that his unconventional practice has sparked mixed reactions—while some people are afraid of him, others regard him as a savior.

Reflecting on his past, he revealed that 24 years ago, he lived as a heavy drinker until he experienced a divine calling that transformed his life.

He said: “God called me, he told me to stop joking and start serving him, God told me to use the same method prophet samuel used carrying a matchete to represent God kingdom because the place he was sending me was dangerous.”

He noted that every morning, he wakes up to sharpen his weapons because inside his church anything is possible

One of his church emmebr said: “Since i started attending emmaunel church i have seen countless miracles the lame stands up and walk, he cures serious diseases even HIV, he healed HIV and so many deadly diseases.”

According to Archbishop Emmanuel, he does not expect his church members to pay money for tithes, unlike other churches that often demand large sums from their congregants.

“One day god told me something and i got angry, he said you will die poor on earth I was frustrated because i thought my miracles, my preaching would build me mega churches but later i understood God meant I would die poor here but be rich in heaven.

“Those we think are foolish on earth are the wisest in the kingdom of God and it’s true i can’t be rich because i don’t preach in wealthy areas where rich people hide, my mission is to save this place (Slum) the dangerous places where violence rules where pastors fears to go but for me it is not just for preaching it is a mission from God.” He added

Reacting to the viral vidoes of Pastor Emmanuel using machete, One of the church member said: “I really don’t know why people out there are so concerned about our bishop ways he knows exactly what he is doing they are just critics they dont see how many lives he saved, how much he sacrifice, many pastors abandoned this place and left us to suffer but God didn’t abandon us.

“Didn’t God Saul and later made him Paul? so why should God forget about people in the slums, we didn’t chose to live here thank God he sent us a savior, Bishop Emmanuel .”
